Itinerary
Darwin to Kakadu
Our first stop is a cruise along the Corrobboree Billabong, home to one of the most concentrated number of saltwater crocodiles in the world. It’s also an opportunity to see many of the 280 species of birds that call the Top End their home. We continue on to the World Heritage listed National Park of Kakadu. The park is about half the size of Switzerland, so there’s a lot to see! We’ll stop near East Alligator River for the chance to spot more of those prehistorical predators (crocodiles, not alligators) and maybe some flying foxes too. Later in the afternoon we take a short walk up to Ubirr, seeing some of the amazing First Nations rock-art, and continue to the top of the escarpment to view the unlimited panoramic views across to Arnhem Land and the Nardob Floodplains. We overnight at our exclusive camp at Mardigal Billabong, which is inside Kakadu National Park. Special Information: Total walking time: about 1.5 hours (including stops for informative talks). Total driving time: about 4 hours (approximately 380 km)
Kakadu
A big day ahead of us with our first stop at Maguk (Barramundi Gorge). After a 40-minute walk along a creek bed, you’ll be rewarded with a swim in a stunning plunge pool surrounded by steep rocky cliffs. We then let our 4WD truck do all the work as we drive to the Southern end of the park to Gunlom Falls – a large emerald-coloured waterhole hidden by the surrounding eucalypt and melaleuca trees. We finish the day with a swim at Ikoymarrwa (Moline Rockhole) which requires permits and limited access to others, but unlimited access to Territory Expeditions passengers! It’s then a three-hour drive as we head to our exclusive camp at the border of Litchfield National Park. Special Information : Total walking time: about 3 hours (including stops for informative talks). Total driving time: 4 hours (approximately350km)
Litchfield National Park to Darwin
Today is about enjoying as many waterholes, and features that Litchfield National Park has to offer in one day! Learn of the differences between the Cathedral and Magnetic Termite mound. Your experienced guide will keep it flexible to make the very most of what this amazing park has to offer, based on the weather conditions on the day. Your time in Litchfield National Park may include the stunning Tolmer, Green Ant and Florence Falls; and some chill-out time in waterholes such as Wangi Falls and Buley Rockhole. It’s only a short one-hour drive back to Darwin to celebrate an amazing three days in the Top End. Return to Darwin approximately 5.30pm
